No jokes today! We left Zapata this morning. We waved at the neighbors, stopped at the Water Department which was closed, and the bakery which was open, and was on the road by 9:00, just slightly later than predicted.
It was an easy 3 and half hours to the Alamo KOA in San Antonio TX. We don't regularly stay at KOA campgrounds, but this one is very nice. We used the bus system, located just across the street from the KOA entrance to travel to downtown. We rode the river taxi on the San Antonio River, an easy way to see the sights. We viewed the Alamo, had a delicious late lunch alongside the river, and rode the bus back to the RV park.
Another reason for stopping here was to check out the location of the hotel St. Anthony. The hotel is the site of the Army reunion Glen attends, this year in October. We wanted to check out parking, especially for mh, none available, and ease of riding bus to the hotel and back to RV park, if that is what we want to do in October. The hotel is just 2-3 blocks from the Alamo. Right now it seems the most practical thing is to drive the motor home to Zapata prior to the reunion, and then drive the pick up back here and stay at the hotel. We shall see if that is still our decision in October.
Just south of San Antonio there were fields of bluebonnets in bloom. I am hoping we see many more tomorrow. Acres of bluebonnets and other wildflowers in bloom is a spectacular sight.
I have the alarm set, for an early (for us) start to the day. It is 9 and half to ten hours to Trisha's. We want to arrive tomorrow late afternoon, if possible.
More tomorrow.
